Which of the following statements about a moving object is correct?

a.

When accelerating, the resultant force acting on it must be equal to zero

b.

There must always be a non zero force acting on it

c.

At a steady velocity, the resultant force acting on it must be equal to zero

d.

At a steady velocity, the air resistance must be equal to zero

Correct answer: C

If an object is moving at a steady velocity, its acceleration is zero. Whenever a force acts on a body, it causes the body to accelerate. Since the acceleration of a body moving at constant velocity is zero, no force can be acting on it.
